A Note From Your Director There is no “summertime, and the living is easy” around here this summer. We
are busier than ever, and your whole staff is loving every minute of it. I know you
are going to be excited to read about everything we’ve got going on in June, like
outdoor dining, horse races, festivals, Benny Goodman music, our new Active
Minds programming, a tea, the Baby Shower, and even a behind-the-scenes glimpse
at what happens after you cast your ballot in Douglas County. It all makes me wish
I was retired so I could join you in all the fun.
Besides the activity programming, there are some other awesome things I wish
to let you know about. We are celebrating our 45th Anniversary with an event on
June 16th (see below). I am honored to know that I have played a role in the legacy
of the Castle Rock Senior Activity Center, and look forward to many more years of
our organization serving seniors. I give a special shout out to all of you for 45 years
of memories. I look forward to reading your poems (see page 14).
We welcome a new member to the Executive Board. Jim Johnson was
appointed to fill the open 2nd Vice President position. He is already being kept
busy on our Golf Tournament Committee, which is hard at work soliciting sponsors
and players for our very exclusive event at the Air Force Academy on September
1st. If you golf, or know anyone who does, this is a tournament not to be missed,
because of the location. And, you know it’s for a good cause - seniors! Please help
us spread the word. Thank you to our enthusiastic committee.
Last, I was thrilled to receive a phone call that we have been chosen as the
Business of the Month for June by the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce. Please
join us on Wednesday, June 29th at 9:00 AM at the Center for the official award
presentation, pictures, and refreshments. I’d love to have a great showing of seniors
for the photo for the newspaper. This is an honor we can all be proud of as it shows
that others recognize all we are accomplishing. Sign up at the front desk.

The Events Division of The Town of Castle Rock has offered the Senior Center the chance to partner with them in providing ushers for their concerts this
summer at the new Philip S. Miller Park Amphitheater.
While we didn’t do this in time for the opening concert in May, you can choose to usher at any or all of the following concerts: June 11 - Fab Four will be singing beloved Beatles songs in this dynamic production; July 30 - The Colorado Symphony will perform “Brass Luminescence, A Celebration of
Light;” August 27 - Marshall Tucker will perform decades of hits; and September 24 - Starship with Mickey Thomas will round out this series with such well known hits as “Sara” and “We built this City.” These are evening
shows, beginning at 7:00 PM. What a great opportunity this is, and because it’s not reserved seating, the job is quite easy, with great perks.
Information Meeting
with Castle Rock Events Manager for those interested:
Wednesday, June 1st at 11:00 AM here at the Center
Bring along your availability for the above mentioned dates
Training for all the concert dates will be held at the amphitheater On Wednesday, June 8th at 1:00 PM

We raise funds at our annual Craft Show, but that’s not all - we also grow our
organization and find future Volunteers of the Month. Our June Volunteer of the
Month, Christie Einspahr, had recently retired and was admiring Thelma Minney’s
crocheting at the Craft Show in 2014. At one time her aunt taught her to crochet, but
she had put it aside while working as an educator and raising children as a single mom.
Realizing that Christie wanted to take up the creative hobby again, Thelma invited her
to the Crochet and Knit group at the Castle Rock Senior Center, and the rest is history.
Christie came to a meeting and they patiently and lovingly taught her their skills. She
said she loved it. Little by little she started helping out the group’s leader, Sharon
Bruen, by organizing yarn and patterns; last year she took on a co-chairperson role with
Sharon. She loves encouraging the ladies and helping them with new ideas to try,
admitting that she is at no where near the level of expertise as many of them. The
group has now expanded to meet twice a week, on Wednesdays and Fridays, and they
are excited about the Baby Shower they are hosting this month for Denver Health
“Newborns in Need.”
Christie considers herself an ambassador for the Crochet and Knit group, as she’s out in the community involved in other crochet
and meet-up groups. Many of the members of those organizations have donated yarn, as well as completed projects, to the
Center for both the Baby Shower and the Craft Show. She enjoyed volunteering at the recent Senior Life Expo and is looking
forward to her group’s involvement in the upcoming events. Christie also volunteers as a proofreader for the newsletter and
enjoys going on trips with the Center, as well as participating in the Creative Writing Group.
When she’s not volunteering here, Christie enjoys writing poetry, traveling, and being outdoors in our beautiful state. She is
quite a musician and still teaches piano lessons, along with being a tutor to students. She plays the piano, guitar and violin.
Christie was born and raised in Hastings, Nebraska, graduating from college with degrees in English and German education. She
moved to Colorado in 1979 and spent 33 years teaching and in school administration in Englewood, Elizabeth, Cherry Creek and
Jefferson County before retiring. She bought a ranch-style home in Castle Rock in 2014.
She has two children: her daughter lives in San Francisco and is a financial planner; her son lives in Centennial and has a career
in marketing and web design with Furniture Row. They have both married and Christie hopes for grandchildren someday. That
hope was our good fortune, because she wanted to learn to crochet before the grandchildren came along! Thank you, Christie,
for all you do for the Castle Rock Senior Activity Center.

I think we all know that to get the most
nutrients we can through our diet or food we
eat, it's important to eat a variety of different
foods. With the start of summer, I am only
going to focus on fruits, as they are starting to
become readily available. With many fresh fruits available in the store, the last thing
you want to happen is have them spoil because you had too many to eat. When
shopping, think about what will have the shortest shelf life - I think that is probably
melons. Once you cut them, you only have a couple days to eat them. Having
trouble taking enough fluids in? Try eating watermelon.
Berries are a great addition for fiber and vitamins to yogurt, cereal, or even on their own. If you have more berries than you can eat,
place them on a cookie sheet in your freezer so they freeze individually, then place in a plastic bag in the freezer to help yourself to a
portion when you want. We usually have apples, as they keep for quite awhile, but bananas often do not.
Frozen, no sugar added, fruit is a great way to satisfy your fruit yearnings if you don't get to the store very often. Just thaw and eat or
throw in the blender with some yogurt and non-fat milk for a smoothie for lunch.
Actually, one of my favorite garden "fruits" is really a vegetable, high in fiber, which grows in my garden and can be frozen. The only
problem is that it's not a item you eat by itself, so it is usually baked with other ingredients so ends up being not as healthy. I often use
sugar substitutes when baking, which helps - and I try not to bake with it often. When I was child, we used to get a glass with sugar, go
pick it, dip and eat. OK - my 16 year old still loves to do that because she has heard this story from my childhood many times. Those of
you from the Midwest probably know what I am talking about - rhubarb.
I admit the reason I probably like rhubarb so much is because of my childhood memories, and we know that food and emotions can have
a strong connection. My parents moved into their home in 1951, and there was (and still is) a huge rhubarb patch that is at least 60 years
old. Last spring I brought some small plants back to Colorado and planted
them next to my Colorado native plants. The Wisconsin plants are used to
a colder climate, so for the last two years they have already been twice as
large in April as my native plants. The plants are, like many of us, hardy
Midwesterners. While I can't count rhubarb towards my fruit intake, it
counts towards my vegetable.
Whatever your fancy, take advantage of the fresh fruits coming into
season, all full of vitamins, nutrients and fiber. Seniors should have 1-1/2
to 2 cups of fruit a day. They do great work in your body to improve your
health in more ways than one!

What a better way to spend a summer afternoon than at Colorado’s premiere racetrack. Post time is 1:00 PM and we
stay for all the races, returning to Castle Rock sometime between 5:00-6:00 PM. Grandstand or air conditioned table seating is available (different fees) and food can be purchased.
This month’s hike on the 5 mile Dawson Butte Trail, a Douglas
County Open Space Trail, travels through mostly forested areas
with some open meadows and views of the Front Range
Mountains. The loop trail follows gently rolling terrain with
only about a 200 foot elevation gain. Elk, bear, mountain lion
and many other species call this land home. Wear comfortable
walking shoes, bring plenty of water, a snack and sunscreen.

D-Day landing could be made on
June 6, 1944. Fred also has a collection of WWII vehicles,
including a WWII mobile weather station. He will bring along
several meteorological instruments that are part of the weather

Seasons come and go; you wish the snow would end and
spring would show up, and suddenly it’s already summer.
With our big snow storms in April, I am wondering what
ever happened to April showers bring May flowers?
Seasons, like life, do what they want to do whenever they
want to do it! Let us all have a wonderful summer season,
living each day to the fullest.
I want to thank all the library volunteers for doing a great job
keeping the library looking nice and keeping it running well.
Before they know it, we will be preparing for our big book
sale at the Craft Show. Please know that we always take
donations of books; we rotate them into our system so there
will be a great variety of books from which to choose...books
for the youngest to the oldest of seniors.
One of our volunteers, Mary Ann Rhoads, passed away this
year. Another long time member, Frankie Valdez, who for
years volunteered on our Activities Committee, also recently
passed away. Both of these ladies leave big shoes to fill in
volunteering and friendship.

THE 35TH ANNIVERSARY SENIOR CENTER POEM - 2006
By Roberta Moore
This all began in Nineteen Seventy One
With older folks wishing to meet. The dream came true with planning and fun
At the Blue Flame Room on Wilcox Street.
Each month more came to pay
Their respects around a table of vittles. Thus, starting the tradition of potluck day,
Rain or shine from the ladies’ kettles.
Many years have passed, many changes, We have moved three times, ‘tis true,
To have more space for our senior parade, Membership now over four hundred and two.
We work, we play, take trips near and far, Go to doctors, dentists or errands in the shuttle car.
Pool games, card games, bowling and such, Theater, stage plays, out to lunch – go Dutch. Walkers, talkers, mall crawlers, some dances,
Bus rides to casinos where we gamble, take chances. Sessions on possessions, seminars and meetings
On the future of our Center at the board member seatings. Noonday nutrition, health clinic, even pedicures,
Exercises, massages, beauty treatment and manicures. There is softball, bingo, in-house movies with popcorn,
Reading or just visiting, new ideas are born. Help with taxes, art classes, craft classes, and more.
Watch over each other whether rich or poor. There is everyday living but needless to say
We still get together on potluck day.
There are many more activities too numerous to mention. So now it’s time to address
The money needed to do these things, pay attention
To the way we finance progress. Help from Douglas County, Castle Rock and personal donations,
Golf tournaments, Eagles, Lions, VFW, and other locations. We’ve had bake sales, fund drives, garage sales with lookers.
Hats off now, we salute our Moo Mag workers. The generosity of the above and many, many more
Make it possible for us to open our door.
Last but never least to oil the wheel, Are the volunteers and Director to keep an even keel. We have drivers, dispatchers, computer help on down
To women washing dishes, men with nails to pound. There is the Executive Board and Committees – no laggers
Again make mention of our dedicated Moo Maggers. We have many, many hands to do this and that.
Even to feeding our mascot Pricilla – the white cat.
We sadly say “good-bye” to a friend now and then. We dry our tears, the sun shines once more, and we start over again.
We work and we play, life suspended
Until that day God says “it’s ended.”
Below is a poem written by Life Member, Roberta Moore, at the time of our 35th Anniversary. She also wrote one at the turn of the
century, which you can read at the Center. We’d love to have poems for our 45th Anniversary Celebration on June 16th. We will display any that we receive at the celebration & leave them up through the month for everyone to read. Turn them in to Deb by June 14th.

All those snows meant the golf league start got delayed, but all that moisture sure makes for a gorgeous golf course. The league plays Tuesday mornings at Red Hawk Ridge, with both 9 and 18 hole divisions. If you’d like to sign up
as a sub, call the golf coordinators listed below.
More and more people are playing pickleball and that’s great. We are now at our outdoor courts at Founder’s Park

available for members to play at other times - keys are checked in and out at the front desk at the Senior Center. Only members may check out keys; these courts are made available through an agreement with the Town of Castle
Rock as a member benefit. Maps and pickleball information is available at the front desk. Join the pickleball phenomena
and get yourself moving.
